What is Molecular phylogenetic perspective on evolution of lizards of the Anolis grahami series about?
## Abstract We report the results of phylogenetic analyses of 1447 bases of mitochondrial DNA sequence for 21 populations representing seven species of the __Anolis grahami__ series (__A. conspersus__, __A. garmani__, __A. grahami__, __A. lineatopus__, __A. opalinus__, __A. reconditus__, and __A. valencienni__), six of which occur on Jamaica. These data include 705 characters that are phylogenetically informative according to parsimony. A parsimony analysis of these data combined with previously published allozymic data yields a single most parsimonious tree with strong support for monophyly of the __A. grahami__ series, the sister‐group relationship between __Anolis lineatopus__ and __A. reconditus__ and a clade composed of __Anolis garmani__, __A. grahami__, and __A. opalinus__. Based on DNA data alone, __A. conspersus__ is nested within __A. grahami__. Haplotypes sampled from geographic populations of __A. grahami, A. lineatopus,__ and __A. opalinus__ are highly divergent (≈12–15% sequence difference on average for each species) and show similar phylogeographic patterns, suggesting that each of these currently recognized species may be a complex of species. __Anolis valencienni_
